Van Graphics for Weatherhead & Sons Butchers

When Weatherhead & Sons Butchers got in touch saying they wanted graphics on a new company vehicle, we knew that it was a fantastic opportunity to produce something outstanding.

Andrew Weatherhead had seen an image of an existing van that he liked the look of, so we had a place to start which is always useful from a design standpoint. As with all good vehicle designs, we went through a few stages as the idea developed, before finally reaching the final look. it’s important to take the time to make sure that everyone is happy with the final proof.

Left to right – the three design stages

The vehicle was to feature a part wrap – covering some of the sides and the full rear in a dark blue wrapping vinyl. This looks really excellent on the silver base, and adds a real touch of class that only a part wrap can add. Of course, as with all colour wraps it’s much more cost effective that a paint job. The company crest was also featured on the sides, rear and bonnet, a stylized image of a highland cow in silver metallic vinyl, and further dark blue/silver text, and finally the Facebook and Twitter social media icons.

Client drawing – guidance always welcome!

Once the graphics were prepared, we collected the vehicle from the supplier and got to work. The wrapping part of jobs like this takes a good few hours, and the vehicle needs to be clean, dry and out of the wind before any work can take place. Using top quality wrapping vinyl (we only use products by 3M and Avery Dennison) makes the job more straightforwards, but wrapping still takes immense skill and patience. Once the wrap was done, the other elements were added and the van was complete.
